| Your material | What you need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Thin metal sheet (0.5‑2mm) | Fine thread, sharp point | More threads per inch = stronger hold |
| Wood (soft or hardwood) | Coarse thread, flat head | Bites fast, sits flush |
| Plastic / PVC | Wafer head, thread forming | Wide clamp, no cracking |
| Trailer flooring | Hex head, heavy duty galvanized | High torque, rust protection |
| Electronics enclosure | Pan head, stainless steel | Clean appearance, corrosion resistant |
| Head shape | Best for |
|---|---|
| Flat head | Flush mounting. Screw sits level with the surface. Finished panels, furniture. |
| Wafer head | Low profile, wide clamp. Pocket holes, thin sheet metal. |
| Pan head | General purpose. Most common choice for assembly work. |
| Hex head | High torque. Use a wrench. Metal framing, heavy duty. |
| Countersunk | Sits completely below the surface. Smooth finish required. |
| Truss head | Wide, low profile. Spreads pressure on soft materials. |
| Thread type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Fine thread | Thin metal, hard plastics. More holding power. |
| Coarse thread | Wood, soft plastics. Faster engagement. |
| Thread forming | Plastics. Forms threads without cutting. No chips. |
| Thread cutting | Metal. Cuts threads. Requires less torque. |
| Material | Best for |
|---|---|
| 304 stainless steel | Outdoor, wet, general rust protection |
| 316 stainless steel | Marine, saltwater, chemical exposure |
| Brass | Non‑magnetic, decorative, electronics |
| Zinc plated steel | Cost effective, light outdoor |
| Aluminium | Lightweight, non‑magnetic |
| Black oxide | Matte finish, indoor use |
Electronics enclosures, wood furniture, trailer floors, plastic junction boxes, sheet metal ducts, car interior trim, signs, and general factory assembly.
ISO 9001 and ISO 10012 certified. Every batch inspected – thread gauging, hardness test.

Thread forming screws displace material to form threads without generating chips, which is ideal for plastics and soft metals. Thread cutting screws feature cutting edges that actively cut threads in harder metals, reducing drive torque.
Choose fine threads when fastening thin sheet metal (0.5–2mm) or hard plastics because more threads engage per inch for optimal holding strength. Coarse threads are preferred for wood and soft plastics for faster driving and high pull-out resistance.
Flat head and countersunk screws are designed specifically for flush or subsurface mounting, preventing surface interference on furniture panels and precision equipment.
For general exterior applications and wet conditions, 304 stainless steel provides dependable rust resistance. For coastal, marine, chemical, or saltwater exposure, grade 316 stainless steel is highly recommended.
Yes, we provide complete OEM manufacturing based on your CAD drawings or physical samples, including non-standard thread pitches, lengths from 6mm to 50mm, and custom head stamping.
